“ Incredibly simple and delicious Italian food. The best deal in Allston. ”
“ We visited Alfredo’s on a weekday for dinner. The shop has limited seating but wasn’t crowded (they seem to get mostly takeout orders), so our group of three had no trouble getting a table. Alfredo is lovely and spent time sharing hilarious stories with us We tried the fresh pasta with several different sauces (vodka, amatriciana and bolognese) and it was all delicious and generously portioned. The arancini was also pretty good. Already looking forward to our next visit :) ”
“ Owner, operator, chef, waiter, and all around nice dude greeted me, took my order and proceeded to cook a shockingly good meal. I've walked by this place because it's tiny so many times not realizing it was here. Some people get take out as there's only a few seats but I also saw a few DoorDash folks come in for to go items. I'll definitely be back and try other items on the menu, it's basic and not really fancy but the food I had was perfectly great tasting and fresh. ”
“ The owner runs this one-man shops efficiently with composure. His food is simple but comforting. I’ll write more after I come back for their salad again. ”
“ This is owned and ran by one man, the owner. It's a small place but ao delicious! Hands down best authentic Italian food in Boston. It's like eating fresh pasta in Rome. Highly recommended. My favorite is the tortellini Alfredo with shrimp. But the home made pasta is delicious too. The pesto creamy sauce is really good and so is the vodka pink sauce. ”
“ You have NO IDEA how good Alfredo’s chicken Caesar salad is. Fresh leave, fresh hot chicken (I recommend crispy)... the croutons are made from freshly baked garlic bread! No one does that! I forgot to take a before picture because it’s just amazing every time. If you don’t like the salad comment under this and I’ll refund you on Zelle. That’s a promise. For SEO proposes...best salad in Boston ”
